Matty,

This probably wont be of much help seems I'm in QLD and your in NSW, but I paid $450 per bumper, $250 bonnet bar, I forget the rest but I had all the exterior stuff done and all up it cost me $3000.

[Devilrod]

A mate paid around $3000 to get all the chrome redone and stainless polished on his 53 Chev. Seems to be about the going price.

thanks guys,





wow... that sound about right. as i was quoted aroun 150 per section of each bumper bar...

i was hoping you guys where going to come back (as you have done in the past) & say stop matty he's WAY to expensive, i got a number for ya... tell i sent you..

but not this time...

thanks

hey matty, only a newbie on this forum but ive been ffloating around the FC site a few years and got a FC sedan still in the final build stage 5 years on and counting.

Now your chrome, try calling elctroplating technologies in queanbeyan n.s.w
i had my shiny stuff inluding the cast items done by them and can highly praise their work. i was charged $100 per bumper section and i think about $60 per headlight rim.
2 bumpers f / r , 4 exterior door handles, 2 headlight rims, 2 tail light surrounds, number plate surround and a whole heap of bolts total $1300

hope this helps

don't know if it's still the same but i seem to remember some process in the chrome plating that is more to do with quality that they outlawed in NSW (f#%king greenies) but were still allowed to do in canberra (as usual )

[Blacky]

Yeah, it creates some horrible fumes or somethig- thats why I cant get the side trims off my `64 reanodised

hey ratbox, queanbeyan is actually in NSW, on canberra's outskirts.
im not sure of the process all i know is these guys do trally great work.
usually booked solid in the months leading up to summernats.
and have done chrome work for some top show cars, fitzpatricks FC for one

yeah i was thinking that as i was typing it but it's usually close enough to get in on the canberra laws or lack of them porn, brothels, fireworks etc
